The moment the thought of projecting himself onto the Heroic Spirit summoned by the Heroic Spirit Training Manual again popped into Mitsuyuki’s mind.
[Projection]
In the next second, when he blinked, Mitsuyuki discovered that the scenery before him had changed.
He saw that the previously hollow-eyed Great Swordsman Heroic Spirit now had a glimmer of spirit in those bewitching red eyes.
He blinked slightly and looked at himself sitting on the bed, his eyes instantly losing their focus, while simultaneously feeling this familiar yet powerful body.
The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.
That’s right, just as Mitsuyuki had thought, he could indeed regain control of this body through projection!
Not only was there no sense of disharmony or obstruction, but there were also no restrictions whatsoever; he could switch at will!
“I didn’t expect it to actually be possible, but this feeling is…”
Mitsuyuki frowned slightly, because after projecting into this Heroic Spirit’s body, he quickly noticed that his strength was gradually draining away.
Although very faint, there was indeed consumption.
“Appearing in this world really does consume corresponding magical energy…
Is it the same as a Servant?”
Mitsuyuki realized quickly.
And as if thinking of something, he immediately used the demonic power within this body, and his expression changed again.
“As expected, using demonic powers consumes even more magical energy…
And the consumption and replenishment of magical energy are completely disproportionate; it’s not even comparable to the end of the shogunate era.”
After realizing this, Mitsuyuki couldn’t help but look at himself sitting on the bed again.
“Although I don’t have Command Spells, the principle should be similar, meaning my original body should be acting as a Master who replenishes magical energy.
But I have no magical energy, so my current state should be the same as when Emiya Shirou summoned Saber; I can only use the magical energy I carry…
No, it’s even worse.”
Thinking this, Mitsuyuki shook his head gently and smiled helplessly: “After all, even if Emiya Shirou is wrung out, something can still be squeezed out, but in my case, even if I’m squeezed dry, there’s nothing.”
“Wait, if that’s the case… Find the original chapter at g.com.
perhaps I could find Tohsaka Rin to replenish my magical energy?”
Just as Mitsuyuki was thinking this, his ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly heard very light footsteps approaching.
So, in the next second, Mitsuyuki returned to his original body.
And the projected Heroic Spirit vanished from before him.
“Big Brother?” As the knock sounded, Sakura Matou’s soft voice drifted in: “Excuse me, are you awake?”
Not long after, having finished breakfast in the living room, Mitsuyuki and Sakura Matou bid farewell to Emiya Shirou and headed toward the Matou Residence.
On the way back, Mitsuyuki noticed that Sakura Matou kept stealing glances at him, so he couldn’t help but smile and say to her beside him: “Sakura, what are you looking at?”
“Um, sorry…” Caught in the act of peeking, Sakura Matou’s face flushed slightly.
After a moment of hesitation, Sakura Matou answered obediently: “I just feel like you…
seem a bit different from usual today, Big Brother.”
“Oh, how so?” Mitsuyuki blinked at her in surprise.
“Hmm…
It’s an indescribable feeling, it’s like…
you’ve become more confident?”
Hearing Sakura Matou say this while tilting her head, Mitsuyuki couldn’t help but be taken aback.
He smiled immediately and reached out to ruffle her hair.
He didn’t say anything more.
After all…
she would know the reason sooner or later.
Soon, the two arrived in front of the Matou Residence.
As they got closer to home, the smile on Sakura Matou’s face gradually faded, and her footsteps even became a little heavier.
She understood that Shinji was right; it was time to let Mitsuyuki leave.
Otherwise, when that day arrived, it would be too late.
She shouldn’t, and couldn’t, let Mitsuyuki get involved in such dangerous matters.
But…
Just as these various thoughts emerged in Sakura Matou’s mind, she had already, without realizing it, returned with Mitsuyuki to the front of the Matou castle.
And the moment she pushed open the door to enter, her eyes widened instantly as she looked ahead.
Because in front of her and Mitsuyuki stood a hunched, short old man…
He was the source of everything.
He leaned on a cane, standing quietly in the shadows inside.
Watching the returning Sakura Matou and Mitsuyuki.
After a few seconds, he finally withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked away step by step.
“Sakura, what’s wrong?”
Then, Mitsuyuki’s voice awakened Sakura Matou.
Sakura Matou looked at Mitsuyuki, who was casting a puzzled gaze at her beside her, and then looked in the direction the old man had left.
“…It’s nothing, Big Brother.”
In the end, she slowly returned a smile to Mitsuyuki.
Mitsuyuki looked at the smile she offered, and after a long while, said with a faint smile: “I see.”
After saying this, as if he really didn’t care, he withdrew his gaze.
And walked into the house.
It might not seem tempting right nobut who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
